Fantastic story, McLemore. Easily the stand out story of today's issue. However, I would have liked to see more visuals; photos of the girl, her family and friends. She lived a colorful life, it seems wrong to relegate her to black and white text. Maybe an idea for our multimedia class?

Still, this is exceptional work, and a heartbreaking story.

Jeannie was an amazing girl. I graduated high school with her and she always had a smile on her face. We were also in girl scouts and softball together. Her family has been in my prayers since her and her mother were sick two years ago. Many people could not believe what had happened to her, but her funeral showed how many people loved her. The whole church and parish hall was full and I didn't even have a place to sit, but I stood in a hall way to pay my respects to her. Jeannie will be missed. I loved this story and I hope people remember Jeannie.
